    4 basic grades of window film at Tint By Koa
    Warren I.

    HIDDEN GEM FOR GLASS TINTING A few days ago, I bought a new car and immediately missed having window tint to protect against heat, glare, and the feeling like I was in a glass fishbowl with people staring. My usual tint shop is in Kakaako, but a friend recommended Tint By Koa in Kaneohe, my hometown. With gas prices high and trusting my friend's advice, I decided to try Tint By Koa. Although the shop isn't visible from the road, it's easy to find if you follow these directions: Drive east on Kamehameha Highway at the intersection with LikeLike Highway. Look to your right after passing Windward Nissan, and you'll see Megumi's, a barbershop, and a tattoo shop. Turn right immediately after the parking lot, and you'll be on a narrow, pothole-filled road with many businesses in the distance. Tint By Koa is about three-quarters of the way down on your left. These guys have a busy schedule, so don't go without an appointment. You can call or make one online. They're popular, so unless there's a cancellation, don't expect to get in the same day. They are closed on Sundays and Tuesdays, so plan accordingly. I arrived a little early for my 9:30 appointment and walked into the shop, where two guys on duty were having breakfast. They greeted me with a smile and asked if I had an appointment. I confirmed and told them not to rush since I was early. In a couple of minutes, Javin came out to help me and asked if I had a specific tint in mind. I mentioned I had used metalized tint on several previous vehicles and that my wife had ceramic tint on her car, which was quite expensive at a competitor's shop. Javin explained the benefits of ceramic tint over metalized tint and demonstrated with an IR lamp. I had seen this demo before and hadn't thought ceramic was worth the price. However, Tint By Koa had four pricing tiers for their tint grades, and their ceramic tint prices were so attractive that I chose the premium Xenith IR Ceramic, including the full windshield, for an extra $200. I felt it was a great deal, but the quality of the installation would be the real test. Javin said I could wait in their customer lounge or he could call me in about an hour to an hour and a half. I walked around the neighborhood and up to Hoomaluhia Botanical Gardens, returning just over an hour later, expecting to wait a bit longer. To my surprise they were just about finished with my vehicle, and just cleaning up. Wow, Tint By Koa did such a great job on my car! I am absolutely positive that Tint By Koa is one of the best tint shops on the island for the following reasons: - Convenient appointment scheduling - Courteous service - Work completed on time as promised - Knowledgeable staff - Car returned in clean condition - Affordable fair pricing - 4 distinct pricing tiers to accommodate any budget - Quality workmanship and warranty (hoping that this will not be put to test) - A favorable business history based on reviews Regardless if you live on the Windward side or not, Tint By Koa is certainly worth your consideration when looking for glass tinting!

    Black gloss vinyl wrap for the hood  Looks
    Greg A.

    Super happy with the turn out of my car hood getting vinyl wrapped. Getting in the tight turn for their establishment was trickier than I thought so I took the liberty of making a video to help future customers/Yelpers. The place due to Covid will have no waiting room inside; and so I waited on the bench right out front. I actually stumbled upon this business on IG. I thought my nephew brought his car here for vinyl but he came here for window tinting. After hearing good things from this and noticed the awesome ratings on Yelp I knew I made the right choice. I made a reservation very easily by booking on their site found on IG. I came here on Presidents Day and good thing since other businesses were closed so I could park by their garage. The end result looked amazing. Car looks like new again! I figure anyone wanting to freshen up their ride, the price is right and is a great alternative to a paint job. Not sure who Koa was but the employee who installed my vinyl said it may be recommended to just hand wash instead of using a machine car wash. So if that is something you cannot do then maybe vinyl is not the best choice for you. They do also disclaim that if there are paint chips or dents they don't refinish so maybe do that before you come in for your appt. You can choose from different colors of vinyl in matte or gloss. I chose gloss black for my hood. If I decide on keeping my car longer I will end up doing the roof and hood. They also do options for clear wrap! Give them a call and support local! The guys work efficient and will do their best to help you decide.

    Tail Gate Lettering

    I had previously called and inquired with staff regarding the application of lettering to my the rear tailgate of my new "2024," Nissan. I stopped by today unannounced and was able to have the lettering done. I am really pleased with the work and service performed. I am further really stoked on the quick application, waiting time (less than 30 minutes) of this family operated business and the cleanliness of the shop. "Mahalo,"

    Did an excellent job on my 2024 4runner. Tint installed 3-11-24 and was told 2 hrs but was done within an hr and half. No hassle highly recommend. Thanks Jr

    35% in the back. 5% in the front.
    Alan S.

    Javin and crew did an awesome job with my 4Runner. Looks so smooth. Best price on the island and finished in the exact time he told me (2hrs for the whole car). Quality and service both exceptional. Would recommended to anyone to come to Koa's.

Less than an hour later, I received a response from Al's Tint Company. He was professional, patient, and willing to answer all of my questions in detail.

I chose Al's Tinting because they've been in business 22 year and their customer service over the phone was great. Al was so pleasant, patient, and understanding with me and my needs. He at no time try to upsell me. He showed me the various tints and the sun's effect, which I really appreciated. I ended going with his recommendation and glad I did. The workmanship in removing the old tint and replacement was excellent. They treated my 20 + year old car as if it was theirs. The job time was faster than I expected, just four hours. The location is great near Cutter Ford. Lots of eating places in the area and close to the bus line should you want to leave the area and even Pearlridge Shopping Center. The prices are very reasonable, and they give a $50.00 discount if they remove and replace the tint at the same time. I would highly recommend Al's tinting to anyone wanting to tint their vehicle windows..

I was having an issue with dropping my vehicle off due to something popping up last minute at work -- Daniel offered to drive his car over, take my car, do the work, and return it. He also offered mobile services, given that I had covered parking to ensure the quality of his work. Communication is easy and he responds quickly. He was able to fit me in the day after I inquired. HI Tint Guy is located in Kapahulu and is right off the main street. Super easy to find. He doesnt double book so he can ensure that your car is in and out in a timely manner. He's got a small waiting area if you choose to hang out, though, there are many places to venture off to. I wont go into detail on pricing, but I can positively tell you that Daniel was not only competitive, but fair. Best part, he uses only the best tint film and he provides a lifetime warranty on his work. If it bubbles, rips, etc, dont worry, hes got you covered. Daniel took care to save my window stickers (which I told him to toss anyway). He is knowledgeable on Hawaii Tint Laws and will tell you exactly what he thinks you should go with if you are unsure or want your car to be darker but legal (or not). I did all of my window -- both windshields included. Daniel completed the work in about 2 hours. He also ensured that the interior of my vehicle was cleaned up and spotless from any water residue. I love that he places a sticker over your window controls to remind you not to roll your window down. I will definitely be recommending HI Tint Guy to anyone that needs tint. Will post photos at a later time.

He also provided paperwork to keep in my car to certify that the tint is legal (though I believe Hawai'i is updating its tint laws for sedans soon). The driveway is right next to the building where Tonkatsu Tamafuji is--can be easy to miss, especially since the street can get really busy.

However, as much as I…read morelove the sun, I know the dangers of the sun's powerful rays and how important it's to use proper protection, especially in Hawaii where the sun is a lot stronger due to our proximity to the equator. The sun can ravage your skin, damage your vision and degrade your personal belongings. Sometimes it's uncomfortable to enjoy my window view because the sun is bright and unbelievably hot. The heat can get so unbearable; I want to enjoy the sun, not baked in it. With this in mind, I contacted Pacific Rim Glass Tinting to inquire about tinting my windows. Since I have 1 very large window, I want it done the right way. After contacting PRGT, they provided me several options, different price points and made suggestions based on my unique situation. I made an appointment, they arrived on time and proceeded to clean my window spotless and tinted the window. The job was done in half an hour. I was WOWed! My windows looked awesome, feels COOL and I can enjoy my view in comfort without worrying about the UV rays. What a total turn around on the feel of my living room. In addition, I no longer have to worry about squinting my eyes (and I hear squinting can cause one to get more wrinkles lol). In short, I'd recommend PRGT to anyone interested in getting their windows tinted to block heat radiation. They were courteous, expedient and professional. I should had my windows tinted sooner!

I highly recommend them to anyone in need of auto glass or window repair. You'll be in excellent hands.
